[Verse 1]
If you let me tell you I am sorry
Would it really get us anywhere?
Would it make a difference to the story?
‘Cause I know that you think that I don’t care
But I do, yes I do
Oh
[Chorus]
If I could find a way to get the message through
If I could find the words for me to say to you
Maybe you could understand the way I feel
All I ever wanted was to set you free
This was never how I ever meant it to be
I never realised life could get so real
So real
So real
So real
[Verse 2]
If there was a switch for this emotion
I would turn it off and let it die
But it keeps on getting stronger
Wish I didn’t know the reason why
But I do, I do
Oh
[Chorus]
If I could find a way to get the message through
If I could find the words for me to say to you
Then maybe you could understand the way I feel
All I ever wanted was to set you free
This was never how I ever meant it to be
I never realised life could get so real
So real
So real
So real
[Bridge]
Didn’t know life could hurt so
Didn’t know life could hurt so
Didn’t know we could hurt the way we do
But we do, we do
[Chorus]
If I could find a way to get the message through
If I could find the words for me to say to you
Then maybe I could understand the way I feel
All I ever wanted was to set you free
This was never how I ever meant it to be
I never realised life could get so real
So real
So real
So real
[Outro]
So real
So real
So real
